reveals that there isconsiderable debate about what “counts” as interdisciplinary teaching and research. Decisionsabout which theories and definitions to adopt have implications for how scholars defineinterdisciplinarity, what educators believe constitutes interdisciplinary education, and for whatresearchers choose to include and exclude in studies of the development of students’interdisciplinary competence. In this paper we present data excerpts from six detailed casestudies that reveal the many, varied, and often conflicting, definitions of interdisciplinarity usedby engineering administrators and faculty members in discussions of undergraduate educationalactivities intended to develop students’ interdisciplinary competence. These definitions

Riley and Miller19 and Riley and Bloomgarden20 discuss strategies forincorporating economic, social and political aspects of globalization in an engineering course onglobal development that has a service learning component.There are two main problems with the resurgence of interest in appropriate technology, and withservice learning as a vehicle in courses on engineering and global development. The first is theinevitable competition between the educational needs of the engineering students and thecommunity’s needs

community partner involvement andexploration of ways to help students (and faculty) make the connection between SLICE projectsand the broad social context. Presently most faculty and students seem to view the communityagencies being served in a typical engineer-client relationship, which does have limitationscompared to viewing the community agencies as equal partners and as capable of teaching thestudents at least about the social impact of their technical projects.Annual surveys of the engineering faculty members (averaging approximately 40 responses orabout two-thirds of the faculty) also found broad support for S-L, with nearly 70% agreeing inprinciple to the idea of integration of service and academic coursework by 2006.

involvinghow best to make theory understandable to students of engineering. For this reason, myconclusion will apply only to those who believe that ethical theory has a place inengineering ethics, and that its role is to inform a case study approach.This paper is organized in the following way: in section I, I describe a popular style ofteaching engineering ethics and identify what I take to be its core faults. In section II, Isuggest a way to take the role of intuition seriously by making a discussion of ethicaltheory subservient to observations of widely-held intuitions. And finally, in section III, Iturn the observations from the previous two sections into what I hope is a workablemodel for teaching engineers.I. A Problematic ModelThose who teach
